Can someone possibly make an app that displays a green circle/lights up where the fingerprint sensor is on the 6T? A few custom roms that are in testing has the fingerprint sensor working, it's just we don't have the proper files to make it work.
From what I've been gathering in Telegram groups, we just need an app that overlays a lighted circle where the fingerprint camera is under the screen. I don't think it has to be exactly green, but seeing how even the fingerprint mods we have the circle is still green, doesn't hurt to keep it green. The app might need to have root privileges to display an overlay since it is a secure lockscreen.
Thanks in advance.
There is a good reason for keeping it green.. And i would suggest to stick with the green in that app.
Other than that, you can customize the idle icon and animation offcourse.
There is one in OOS called sensor test tool
You're vastly simplifying this. No, the fingerprint sensor isn't working and a green light won't fix this. The fingerprint sensor is detected and delivers some input, but that's it. It's not scanning properly, it's not lighting up properly, it's not storing data properly and it's not saving data properly. A fingerprint sensor is a hard thing to make function as it's deeply connected to the encryption features built into the OS and bootloader.
Edit: to add, it's also not communicating with the biometrics API at all.

This is a great start. Thank you! Dev is implementing into arrow os rn.
Here's the sensor tool when searching "sensor" in Solid Explorer in the root directory. Clicking on the apk leads to a parsing error though.
Searching the word "sensor" in the root directory pulls up a lot of sensor files. Some are "libsensor.so" files. Would that help at all?
And what's the intention? It's to display the "circle" while the screen it's locked? I think it's easy for me to do it. In theory it's just know the fingerprint dimensions and position and translate that to dp's and place it in screen. But if it's to display while the screen locked it has to be a screenlock app.

The intention is to be able to place the green circle where the fingerprint sensor camera is located. It has to be on a secure lockscreen though since it's a security/biometric feature. Possibly with elevated root privileges. We have the SensorTest app installed on our phones already (if you're not using No Limits Magisk module) and is accessible using *#808# in the dialer app. There's a test specifically for the fingerprint sensor which supposedly displays the green circle but I couldn't get it to work.

Mate, why don't you stay in the development of MIUI rom and groups, and stop chiming in every time you disagree with what someone says in here. There's nothing wrong with talking about things whether it be right or wrong on XDA. It's all about experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. If you get it to work great, if someone in here gets it to work great too, but I have a feeling that if someone gets it to work before you do, you're gonna feel real sorry for having to eat your own words. Let people be a move along.
P.S. Obviously you're not doing something right if the rom you're in development with the Alert Slider doesn't work while the custom roms that I've been testing it works perfectly fine. Just saying.
Lol I swear op6t has had the most hostile development progression I've ever seen.

I'm not telling anyone to not discuss. I want this discussion going so others can join and help out with cracking the biometrics.
I'm correction false information. You and that other lad were saying untrue things which others will read then continue spreading, slowing the development if developers start believing something is already done, while it isn't. We've already performed the experiments you're mentioning and more. I'm informing you that it does not work. Isn't that what you wanted to know?
I don't care who gets it to work. You're greatly overestimating how much I care about these forums, the ROM or the device in general. I'm not even the one developing the biometrics compatibility, I just said I'm involved in the development. The sooner someone gets it to work, the better.
Oh, yeah and the alert slider doesn't work because it's a MIUI ROM, not an AOSP-based ROM like the others you've tried. Device Parts frameworks only work on AOSP. MIUI needs one rewritten from scratch as porting one over from the OP6 LineageOS or other ROMs is more work than it's worth.

Last time I checked, Nima isn't working on the FP anymore but I could have misunderstood something.
Anyway, we've already attempted adding a simple green light. No, it doesn't work. Only thing that works with the fingerprint sensor is the sensor actually getting power and reporting back to the OS that it's seeing something. It doesn't use the API properly, doesn't store any data, read it or even transfer or properly. Unfortunately.

You're part of the problem. I'm sorry your idea of turning on a few pixels wasn't the magical solution and ego boost you were looking for.
Meanwhile, of anyone has any clue how the fingerprint sensor works, hit me up on Twitter or Telegram at @dennisbednarz. All help would be great to get it to work, especially without making an AOSP exclusive solution so OneUI and others can be ported.

Hello to all, and please excuse me if ive posted in the wrong thread. I am fairly new to the forum and have been a long time reader and supporter and finally want to get involved in this great community and...
have a[Q], is there any dev out there working on a port for vertumus's domination dark/light theme, for the sprint galaxy s4 as of right now? If not no worries, would you consider takeing on this project lol ?
I did some homework on this and seen a thread indicateing (link at bottom of post) another dev was infact working on a possible port. I had high hopes for this but dont know if it's still being worked on or if it was dropped all together. no status updates or post have been made for sometime. i wanted to write in the thread and get a status update but don't have permission yet since i am a newbie (at time of post this was true, and is no longer the case )
this theme is absoultely amazeing and I would love for someone with the skills and knowledge to please consider takeing this on. it would be greatly appreciated and i would be more than happy to make a donation to support your time and efforts put into it (with the devs permission of course).
[] link to the thread of the original developer's theme is below[]

[]link to a possible port by another dev below[]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356037
Devoureddreams said he would port the theme. That was on July 8th, almost 2 months ago. I'm not sure what the status is but it's not an easy job. Maybe he'll do it some day, maybe not.
Anyways, have you tried any of the Xthemes? I'm currently using SimpleX_Blue v.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360755
Hello xuser,
thanks for takeing some time to reply back to me I appreciate it, glad to see someone else is showing interest in this possible port, your a man of good taste lol anyways... yes! I have tryed out the Xtheme engine and I think it has nice theme capabilities and is a great idea, But i didn't give it to much of a chance. I played around with it for a bit and gave up on it a bit too quick with out really giving it a chance. Mainly for the reason that once I seen vertumus's domination theme. it was so right on the nose and fitted my likeing to the T. like I've seen themes that were nice and said to myself wow that's nice, that's cool but man I wouldn't change a thing about the domination theme it was perfect... in my eyes at least, very appealing. there's probly a good chance if it were ported I would NEVER flash another theme onto my s4 .
aigain I do appreciate the reply and suggestion. I might just give the Xtheme engine another go, also just to note i did infact mention this to vertumus some time ago. he did say he has intentions to bring this theme to the sprint galaxy s4 variant in the future, but didnt give a projected date or time frame sadly but it is nice to know its in his thoughts so im keeping my fingers crossed hopeing ill see it in the forums one of these days lol.
Please don't take this the wrong way. Can you please consider using sentences and punctuation on your posts. We all have something to share here, and it was real difficult reading your posts. Thank you.
xuser,
Lol! no offense taken, Yes I will definitely work on my grammer
(punctuations, sentences) the whole 9 just for you rather than makeing it one big sentence lol. Yeah Grammer isn't really my hard suite so it's gunna be a bit difficult but I'll manage. I wouldn't want other people to have a hard time reading future post.
Ive seen some hints of future support for multiple carriers. I love the way the lite theme looks with a white s4

If you go and kinda read through the thread for the theme sprint is mentioned a couple times. One guy asked if it would work and Vertumus told him to try it. No profit of course. But a discussion about the theme being on other devices arose. So hopefully Vertumus took note of that. There was also that one guy that was porting it but then he disappeared

I have to admit though. Till the day the theme is ported I will probably stick to my TW roms. Just for the air gestures. MultiROM would be sick on this device. Or MoDaCo Switch.... but that's GSM only

Yeah its been sometime since ive read/posted in that thread. I messaged vertumus and the dev: devourourdreams (i think his name was) who was working on a port, I messaged them both once regarding this a while back, vertumus got back to me saying he has intensions of bringing the theme to the sprint and verizon s4 but did'nt say when...it didnt sound like it was going to be anytime soon. He did welcome me to flash it as is and see if it worked, tried it, didnt work lol
As for the dev who was porting he's still online and active in the thread. i just got ignored in his thread and via p.m so i left it alone. I didnt want to troll anyone or discourage anyone from takeing on this project.
In the meatime im running sacs rom which is a nice piece of work. i tip my hat to the dev, he went balls out to bring the forum such a nice rom,frequently puts out updates and is nice enough to take request to put into the next ver... He has my support. (highly reccomend it to anyone)
its my daily till the G.E rom's (with sammy cam) kinks get ironed out, even then idk if im gunna switch. i personally like what sac's has done with t.w. Id only consider switching if vertums's theme was brought over then...maybe. In addition to the rom 3minit + Xposed framwork modules keep me happy look wise in the meantime (till port) , KToonz kernel along with operation killjoy, KTweaker shop custom settings (thanks to other amazeing devs) tops it off, giveing great performance & battery life. #Profit

I'm not going to comment on the obama part. Politics is the fastest way to start flaming and other things on an open public forum. So I kindly ask you to leave politics out of EVERYTHING. (I am completely omitted from the following statements, as I'm not in any part a dev) As far as my expectations, they are MUCH higher than is occuring on these forums these days. These amazing teams make these roms/tools/and mods and are just insulted. Dev's don't need to be saying the same thing over and over again because some person that neglected to read the OP, the stickies, or use the search function (or google) to find the simple answer. This goes the same for PM'ing said dev's for the same things. This includes people wanting dev's to essentially make a PRIVATE BUILD for some individual because they are too lazy, too afraid to try, or just don't care to bother with making their own rom. Don't like 1 thing in someone's rom? Don't use it. Or learn to do/undo what is done that you do/don't like! Its very simple, especially if I can pull off putting a rom together from various mods from AMAZING dev's. I simply lost my patience, I'll go back to lurking the forums and continue my own builds privately. I certainly applaud the retired dev's I see hanging around that do just that. I understand the situation, to the extent that my rom was that of a mustard seed to the rest of these awesome guys. But I feel I understand, I see xda in a different light now, and I simply don't like it. THAT is why I had to adress this. Was this explosion post my intention? No. I would rather a coming dev/user know whats wrong and why, then get sideswiped by a good number of the users here and wonder where it came from. Honesty is the best policy my good sir.
I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE for echoe team for this going on in your thread. You do amazing work! I certainly appreciate everything you have done here at XDA and even now what you don't! You are the bigger men in the situation that has occurred and you are still here. Kudos for sure. Big thanks!

@millerboy I agreed with you. Used all the resource out there... ask when you exhausted all the resources... Personally I don't like private message.. I ignore other when they message me .... I attempted many times but no success (no a smart person when come to code).
Guys take the comments to pm and keep this thread clear. This ROM is so sweet, I've been running it since lunchtime. you guys should really give it a try.<br/>

I'm not going to comment on the obama part. Politics is the fastest way to start flaming and other things on an open public forum. So I kindly ask you to leave politics out of EVERYTHING. (I am completely omitted from the following statements, as I'm not in any part a dev) As far as my expectations, they are MUCH higher than is occuring on these forums these days. These amazing teams make these roms/tools/and mods and are just insulted. Dev's don't need to be saying the same thing over and over again because some person that neglected to read the OP, the stickies, or use the search function (or google) to find the simple answer. This goes the same for PM'ing said dev's for the same things. This includes people wanting dev's to essentially make a PRIVATE BUILD for some individual because they are too lazy, too afraid to try, or just don't care to bother with making their own rom. Don't like 1 thing in someone's rom? Don't use it. Or learn to do/undo what is done that you do/don't like! Its very simple, especially if I can pull off putting a rom together from various mods from AMAZING dev's. I simply lost my patience, I'll go back to lurking the forums and continue my own builds privately. I certainly applaud the retired dev's I see hanging around that do just that. I understand the situation, to the extent that my rom was that of a mustard seed to the rest of these awesome guys. But I feel I understand, I see xda in a different light now, and I simply don't like it. THAT is why I had to adress this. Was this explosion post my intention? No. I would rather a coming dev/user know whats wrong and why, then get sideswiped by a good number of the users here and wonder where it came from. Honesty is the best policy my good sir.

hi
Just came by to say it's up... a bit late lol you all already know :good:
Seems like it's the same on every device. It starts nice and as soon as a device hits a certain number of owners (the mass market) the childish posts start. I can understand everyone who has been a victim of this and I think it has to be talked about. It is destroying a great platform... but as for now it is what it is.

This might be a dumb question, but i'm quite certain i'm not the only one wondering. Is anyone working on any ROMs for the v20? I know jc cracked root and recovery fairly quickly. Is anyone working on any roms? I'd love to test out Cyan ....its been years.
Pretty sure LG hasn't released the source code yet, and we still don't have the dll needed for unbricking using LGup. It's only been a month since the phone was released, chill.
I think once we get a way to flash tot/kdz people will be more willing to experiment.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself,but,it's generally considered rude/needy asking for ROMS & ETA's for such.If you don't believe me take a look around XDA & the rules for all who enter here.
Seriously,only one model has an unlockable bootloader ATM & it has only been available officially since 10/28/16.
On top of that,Android 7.0 is a new OS with only a handful of phones running it,so,you may wanna temper your expectations for development a bit............................

This. Patience is a virtue. Instant gratification is childish. If you want a ROM right now, start developing it yourself.

Perhaps you can show me where i asked for an ETA??? Seriously though, i'm not trying to be rude or demand anything. I simply asked if anyone was WORKING on roms. I didn't say "WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT?!" or anything like that. Delete it if you want, i was just curious to see if/what people were working. Someone above nicely informed me that certain software was needed before anyone could start developing, which makes sense.
What doesn't make sense, is calling me childish, selfish, etc, for asking if anyone is developing anything. It's so ridiculous that i can't ask a simple question without people jumping down my throat. I've been on this forum for almost 10 years and it didn't used to be like this.
LG is not a very popular brand that does not attract devs. Even the Pixel doesn't even have roms. The days of roms are numbered sadly.

NP, if you find out about any others let me know.
I understand that the second screen caused problems in the V10 development. That'll likely be an issue with this phone as well.

You more than likely aren't going to see a cyanogen rom, they still don't have a working one for the v10... The second screen kills it...

Thanks, thats all the OP wants to know. As do I and many others. IS someone working on a ROM etc.. No ETAs ... This guy seems to be working on something also .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/v20-v1-oct-20-16-t3482986
Here's my take on it. For one why would anyone buy a device like this to put cm on it? Like seriously that would be just silly. That's what nexus devices are for! I highly doubt there will be many roms that aren't just the standard stock debloated/deodexed. And those aren't even features. My advice is stay stock and use xposed if it comes out. I highly doubt there's gonna be any ground breaking features added to any rom.
Plus all the devs are switching to iPhones now! lol

Phones has officially been out 19 days and the resources needed for custom Roms aren't available. Tag this in the first world impatient problem bin. Geez.
Hey everyone! Since XDA is a community-based forum, I want to hear your input on what ROMs those with the Qualcomm Moto E4 would like to see. I'm new to developing so I cannot 100% promise a fully working ROM right out of the gate, but I'll sure as heck give it a try because you gotta start somewhere, right? DotOS v1.2 is fully working other than the LTE CDMA issue due to LineageOS being the base, crDroid is almost 100% working after I solve the camera error, and in a few days after messing around with crDroid's cam I planned on attempting another Unofficial ROM for you guys. One final thing: Oreo device trees for the Perry model don't seem to be up yet, so as of right now please recommend Nougat ROMs.
Your efforts are much appreciated. However, I would suggest you build which ever ROM interests you. We previously had a dev here that asked which ROMs to build. He uploaded a bunch. Then when the ingrates started complaining about updates, broken features, etc... he pulled everything and closed his account. Things have been really slow for perry, so your ROMs are very welcome! I would rather you stick around than get aggravated and leave as well.
I'm on Verizon so I'd love to see anything that could support that. However I don't really need a custom ROM what with the xposed framework giving me all I need, but stock Oreo would be nice once that's possible.

Well I already compiled the two I use and enjoy the most on my other phones, I wouldn't mind building one more. Maybe I'll put up a poll
AospExtended (AEX) is my goto ROM when available and needed. That said, I will probably stick with stock on my rooted/unlocked XT1768 as Xposed provides access to essential customizations without having to go the custom ROM route.
haha if you were building for woods mediatek i would suggest tesla or ground zero roms ...aah well ..
since the qcom boys prefer xposed perhaps you can build blind for woods for practise ..

New people pop up for devices all the time. Especially when there are roms to build for them that haven't been done. Some of us are working on getting them fully working for everyone else. Just saying, it would be nice to not have all the good ones taken once that work is done. You shouldn't speak for everyone here. It is a community forum.

Sometimes I feel like the only adult here. Do what makes you happy. I do. Remember, we do this because we love it. The feeling of accomplishment when ppl use your build, and appreciate it. Some can even tolerate it when ppl just gripe because some abstract feature that only that one person uses is borked and they show no appreciation at all. Because they love it. As soon as you don't love doing it, stop. Before ya start to sound grandiose.
But what do I know. I build for myself and share privately.

Obviously the whole point of my first post went right over your head. I don't even know why you felt the need to respond to begin with, or to further instigate. I wasn't saying stop building, don't know why you assumed that. I was only saying don't get greedy, there are other people who would like to share their work and experience that "feeling of accomplishment when ppl use your build, and appreciate it" that you just mentioned. Troll much? Looks like the bat symbol goes out every time someone makes a post around here.

So I am getting stuff ready to use one of the custom ROMs but my question is, do they have the flashlight, double tap for screen on, camera, song changing gestures like stock does? I search a bit in each one and they didn't exactly mention they were gone or included, but I did see on some kernals that they specifically mentioned gestures

Many custom ROMs have similar gestures, yes. Try for yourself.
Our SkyDragon rom has these gestures, Just released in beta on our TG chat join from our kernel group in the development section if interested. Will post to XDA soon just fixing some last minute bugs.
